Abstract

Several linear biased estimation techniques are applied to a 12-reservoir ocean tracer model. The procedures reduce the sensitivity of the calibration to noise in the data, but the results still indicate a persistent problem with the phosphorus distribution in the Antarctic region. The airborne fraction of CO₂ is found to be insensitive to the changes in circulation associated with different calibration procedures.
